I was caught stealing 30$ worth of merchandise.They asked for my ID. The police was also involved and I am a minor. What are the possible consequences ?

The consequences are minimal for a minor, assuming you are convicted.
Until you are convicted, or plead guilty to a delinquent act, you are INNOCENT in the eyes of the law.
As a minor, you're never guilty, simply delinquent.
The first thing you MUST do is report the matter to your parents.
There's absolutely NOTHING a minor can do about this.
The court won't even acknowledge you, unless your parent(s) are present.
If you do NOTHING, it'll only make MORE trouble for you, mom, and dad.
If you get mom and dad involved, you'll likely get a lecture from a judge, maybe a few hours of community service, and the entire episode will just disappear.

You definitely need to tell your parents if you haven't already. Since the police got involved, your parents might want to get a lawyer for you. Talk to no one but your parents & the lawyer about this.
